Sound familiar? Shades of 2000. Hopefully Hillary, Obama, Edwards and their socialist party will meet the same fate.

And so it begins - the blame game (just as we predicted).

Royal probably would have finished 3rd again if Le Pen hadn’t urged supporters to boycott the election.

I rather enjoyed the news photos of the weeping socialists with dejected expressions on their faces.

It was Maureen Dowd’s column that did in Ms Royale.

With cheese.

Get it? “Royale with cheese?”

If I was holding a chrome .45 automatic would it be any funnier?

I’ll pay for them to fly to Cuba, Vezuela, or the DPRK; however, I shall only pay for a one-way ticket. Oh, and they’ll have to fly coach.

What? They’re not going to demand a recount and look at all the hanging chads?

Today’s French victory, is a blueprint for defeating leftists in 2008, in America.

Especially, if the nominee is Hillary. Drudge is really on the similarity between Royal and Hillary — except he’s pretty convinced Royal was a far better candidate than Hillary would be.

He could be right.

The US media is really going to spin hard for Hillary. The NYT is going to come out tomorrow with a lead on the French election, labeling the victorious conservative with a stream of buzzwords.

They seem to sense, the import of what has happened.

If even Europe, is losing their anti-Americanism, what are US democrats to do? Turn to Cuba?

If the NYT isn’t happy about what happened today in Paris, then what happened today in Paris, is probably a very good thing.

Welcome back France.

I imagine French Jews are quite nervous at this prospect.

The French Socialists have resisted the need for change. They've become yesterday's party in France.

Sure does sound familiar. Rotten liberal socialists are the same everywhere — THEY ARE NEVER WRONG — always blame someone else for their life of failures. This is rare, and so perfect. Sets a good tone for a defeat of Hilterly’s socialism in 2008.

The DomonRats Should meet the same fate. Their words so far any different on their foray to the highest office the land that Socialist Royal’s were and how she and her supporters are handling the loss is what we can expect when the same happens to the DemonRats.

I wouldn’t count the French left out, but it is interesting that after now decades of electoral losses, the Party cannot reform and realign itself.

This will be interesting to watch.

Oh it was on an earlier thread today. It showed a groups wearing red T-shirts and holding Royal posters. All of the weenies were teary-eyed and showed the signs of a crushed spirit. ‘Twas nice; I’ll look for it.
